England defeat Australia 45-22 in Nations Championship at Twickenham
England recorded a 45-22 victory over Australia at Twickenham, scoring a record points total against the Wallabies and easing pressure on coach Steve Borthwick.
England secured a 45-22 win over Australia in the Nations Championship at Twickenham, delivering their highest points tally against the Wallabies. The hosts scored seven tries, with Henry Pollock, who came off the bench, adding two tries on the wing. Jamie George became England’s highest-scoring forward, surpassing Lawrence Dallaglio's record.
The victory helped relieve scrutiny on head coach Steve Borthwick after reports of unrest within the squad earlier in the week. England captain Maro Itoje publicly backed Borthwick, describing him as "world-class".
Australia’s only scores came from Max Jorgensen and Filipo Daugunu. The Wallabies will travel to Murrayfield for their next match against Scotland. England’s upcoming fixtures include games against Japan and a reunion with Eddie Jones, followed by a test against New Zealand.
Borthwick confirmed that England wing Immanuel Feyi-Waboso will undergo medical tests after sustaining a hip-drop tackle injury in the first half. The player was treated on the field and did not return for the second period.
